INTRODUCTION: Optic neuritis may occur in a variety of conditions, including as a manifestation of multiple sclerosis. Despite significant research into the efficacy of corticosteroids as a first-line treatment, the optimal route of administration has not been well defined. This review aims to explore the efficacy, adverse effects and economic implications of using oral versus intravenous methylprednisolone to treat acute optic neuritis.
METHODS: A systematic search of the databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL was performed to July 2022, prior to data collection and risk of bias analysis in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines.
RESULTS: Six articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The results showed that in the treatment of acute optic neuritis, oral methylprednisolone has a non-inferior efficacy and adverse effect profile in comparison to intravenous methylprednisolone. In a cost analysis, oral methylprednisolone to be more cost-effective than intravenous methylprednisolone.
CONCLUSIONS: Oral methylprednisolone has comparable efficacy and adverse effect profiles to intravenous methylprednisolone for the treatment of optic neuritis. The analysis suggests oral administration is more cost-effective than intravenous administration; however, further analyses of the formal cost-benefit ratio are required.
